From Windows 10 onward, many people turn off animations to improve usability, especially on slower machines. I do this even with powerful systems because I believe animations can help users understand layout changes without extra effort. Some might think they add clarity, but for experienced users, the interface feels more intuitive without them. Do you share similar thoughts?
On my primary system I skip the extra work—it’s enough that it only improves performance by a small margin, and I prefer a smoother OS experience. On my testing rigs it’s more involved. I still don’t use it regularly, since the effort isn’t justified most of the time, but for competitive comparisons or long-term hardware testing I sometimes remove all animations from the OS.
I do it just for the sake of it, since it’s just eye candy and doesn’t serve any real purpose. Now, if it required more than a few button presses, I’d skip it.
